Art Stabs Power

Que se vayan todos!

An exhibition focusing on the several policies of austerity imposed to Portugal, its impacts in Society and in the Arts. Art has always remained a critical and conscious platform reflecting upon the local social and political issues that consequentially mirror global politics and international interests. Thus it explores the current interrelationships between art, activism and politics through several art projects. These projects use performance, installation, video, painting and objects as mediums of manifestation and/or reflection on the current austerity policies that have brutally impacted the lives of the Europeans and Portuguese people as well as the future of their country.
